Bronze Bull Spirits

Bronze Bull Spirits is Liberty & Plenty Distillery's line of small-batch, premium and ultra-premium bourbons and whiskies. It borrows its name from the ox that stands proudly in downtown Durham, North Carolina.  From the early days, Durham has been known as the Bull City, strong and determined. These qualities are found in the spirits, providing clear flavors, just as they are found in the Durham community that is not limited by convention, within its schools and research community that are pushing boundaries, and in the vibrant downtown entertainment and art scene that engage the senses. 

As a nod to the Bull City spirit of creation and innovation, this line is built upon the principles of iteration and flexibility in sourcing, distilling, blending and maturing, while remaining steadfast and resolute in the Liberty & Plenty promise of excellence. Each expression is produced in small batch quantities that reach for the uncommon value of flavor experiences. The Bronze Bull is resolute and limitless in its boundaries.
